Religion, Equalities, and Inequalities: Theology and Religion in Interdisciplinary Perspective Series in Association with the BSA Sociology of Religion Study Group

Editat de Dawn Llewellyn, Sonya Sharma
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 aug 2016
Presenting cutting edge research on how religion can confront and obscure social inequalities in everyday life, Religion, Equalities and Inequalities argues that when religion is left out of social scientific analyses, it can result in incomplete analyses that conceal pathways to social inclusion and exclusion. Bringing together an international and interdisciplinary group of contributors who operate at the vanguard of theoretical and empirical work on how social structures of power, institutions and bodies can generate equalities and inequalities in religion, the collection shows how religion can enable and challenge the inequities that affect people’s everyday lives. Academics and students of religious studies, sociology, politics and social policy will all find this book offers useful insights into the relationship between religion and contemporary culture.

Recenzii

"From public policy to everyday experience, religion is interwoven with systems of inequality and with means for countering that inequality. This wonderful collection allows us to see that complicated reality from multiple geographical and social locations, providing rich resources of new knowledge and sharp new perspectives."
Nancy Ammerman, Boston University, USA
 
"This insightful collection of essays explore matters of faith, equalities and inequalities through attention to the structures, institutions and lived experiences that are part of contemporary religious landscapes. A diversity of significant issues are investigated across different terrains including policy, legislation, social and political contexts, and embodied experiences. This is a must read for scholars interested in matters of religion, belief and faith in public and private life."
Peter Hopkins, Newcastle University, UK  
 
"This fresh and invigorating collection reminds us the study of religious ‘difference’ often neglects the issue of power and inclusion. Taking as its theme the way that the religious or the secular may enable or thwart access to the public sphere, it presents a rich feast of new research and reflection."
Linda Woodhead, Lancaster University, UK
